No, on an XE the pump will be triggered upon cranking when the crank sensor sends its signal to the ECU.
I fear it could be an earth issue as you were having battery probs at nats & yet your alternator has been over charging has it not?
What earth strap is on the gearbox? A GM braided copper one?
Definately. he says its been swapped though. But a sedom used one from the depts of a toolbox isnt always a safe bet.Quote:

True best off with new as there not expensive from vaux.Quote:

lol yeah craig , was having battery probs at national day , but that was the earth that snapped in the boot ,
Have also fitted a brand new battery aswell
Gearbox earth strap is a newish one from a motorfactors, and batt to chassis earth is the same , injector rail earths are good , and alternator earths are fine as have fitted a new alt aswell :) to cure the over chargining
Just Hoping the overcharging hasn't fried ecu
well it was ecu , andy came down , and tried mine on his , no start
tried his on mine and it started , so rickardo met up wth stupot and got me another which andy then ran me to collect, big gay hugs to all 3 of you :thumb:
Nice one riggy glad you sorted it thought it sounded ecu related tbh.Quote:
